The 2009 Northwest Spring Rally has been set for May 15-17 at the Yakima Nations RV Resort in Toppenish, WA.

They don't have a website up and running at the moment, but are working on it. When they do, I'll post it here.
In the meantime, I did find this one here. We have the sites in the upper left-hand corner on the map (in the cable tv area).
And I also found this Woodall's ad.
Their phone number is 800-874-3087 or 509-865-2000.
When you call to make reservations, tell them you are with the NW RV.net rally group. That way they'll put you in the right area.
Cost is $24.65 per night. A one night deposit is now required (if you've made your reservations already, you do not need to call them to place the deposit). If you make reservations and your plans change, make sure to call the park and then let me know too.
According to Hobo, it is a bit of a walk (a block) to "the dome". (Sounds like about as far away as we were in Dayton.) Donna says there is also no longer a shuttle from the RV park to the casino. The park will put on a salmon BBQ if we want. Donna will check into this more this weekend when she visits the park. The park said we could put up our own tent if we wanted to (at our own expense of course).
Check back regularly for updates to this first post.

I'd like to put together a "who's who" booklet so people will have an idea of just that...who's who. You've got all summer to do this, but the sooner the better so you don't forget. (Don't worry, I'll remind you every once and awhile. )
The next time you have a chance, take a picture of yourselves in front of your rig and a close-up of yourselves and send both of them to me at dng425@gmail.com There is no limit to file size, so send me your best shot and I'll take care of the rest. Also, send me a little write-up about yourselves and I'll publish that in sort of a "yearbook" for this rally and pass it out at the rally. This year's yearbook can be found HERE If you want to see what you might have written about yourself back in 2006, you can find it HERE

Tradewinds, how far is it from that camping area to the rec room area--I imagine that is the building called Mini Lodge Dome? If we have the whole TV/phone area we will be off by ourselves which is nice--but I don't count 35 spaces. Looks great!
